Otro los grandes lanzamientos recientes del sello Nang Records , es está potente y brillante colaboración, el dúo de productores de Sheffield de Hiem (David Bozzwell & Nick Eastwood) con la colaboración del mítico Philip Oakey (The Human League) con un temazo con aires 80, un potente synth pop , con esos sintetizadores y la voz de Phil y esa guitarra tan clásica. Gran gran tema. Y como es habitual en el sello, cuidan mucho las remezclas que acompañan a los temas publicados, [...]

Well it appears that this is the 20 th installment of A Derogatory Playlist. The first of the playlists was published almost 4 and a half years ago in late 2007 by a little indie electro freak at the time who was going to The Empire every weekend and would trawl the blogs all day and night listening to hours of music. All this work would churn and chug its way down to 1.2 hours of his favourite tunes, arranged in a Playlist in a certain way to give the listener the ultimate journey. There have never [...]

I would like to welcome the 18 th Derogatory Playlist – a big number for the Derogatory one and only 2 away from number 20. It is not yet time to reflect retrospectively so let's avoid hindsight and enjoy the deepness which lies ahead. The Playlist El Derog below is a segment of electronic tunes built for darken rooms, late nights, early mornings and most importantly a sound system which can deliver the tasty Wav files into your ear drums with pin point [...]
HiEM (Bozzwell and Nicco Eastwood)'s '2am' featuring the vocals of The Human League 's Phil Oakey has been knocking around for a couple of years now, but was been given a new lease of life when Toomy Disco & Fernando were asked to reMix the track. Washing the ElectroPop original with broad strokes of Disco, Toomy Disco & Fernando lay down a severe bass and guitar lick Funk that just seem to roll under Sir Phil's vocals. Some nice big synth chords finish off the musical job layering the track think, only to be [...]

Hypothetical black metal urban poster campaign What's that? You don't have Hiems ' new album yet? Who's Hiems? Funny you should ask. I reviewed their last record here and their new one here . Worship or Die ( Moribund , 2009) is my favorite black metal album so far this year. Yeah, I know. Black metal isn't doing so hot this year. Lots of disappointments. But check out Hiems. Especially [...]

Image by flight404 The signal went dead here for about 10 months. To the subscribers that stuck around, I appreciate it. I'm offering this 80 minute mix (3x longer than usual) as a humble apology for the absence... I know its not really summer yet, but I always get summer mixes when the leaves are falling off the trees. So I am seeding this one early. Full disclosure: there really isn't anything summery about it. Just a lot of my favorite tracks. [...]

It may seem as though we've been slipping into slow dormancy over the past few weeks here at AiMT. Here's my first of three excuses. I'll get around to posting the other two (singles and albums lists) sooner or later. All in good time… These lists are by far the biggest features I've ever written/compiled on this site or any other. Seriously. There are approximately 800 billion lines of html code for each list. Shit is insane. So please forgive my lack of posts in the past few weeks. After I get these lists [...]

Speaking of Italian black metal, in recent heavy rotation for me has been Hiems , of the northwestern city of Novara. Hiems plays good, strong black metal. With black metal, I don't often use "strong" to connote "powerful." I am a fan of black metal, but for all its posturing with weapons and spiky wristbands, much of it feels powerless to me. Sign of the Hammer The Last Sunset In fact, the first time I heard black metal, I questioned whether it was even metal at [...]

Hiem is a duo from the land of Sheffield. Releasing their EP 1/2 back in May of this last year on the amazing White Label Music. It is a nice teaser for what is sure to come. I heard them for the first time on the Electronic Music Bible with their song "Tweak" and was hooked immediately. Their sound is one of a kind and to be honest really changes from song to song on this EP. Their influences are all over the place, which is highly enjoyable since some electronic albums tend to sound like [...]
